oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh, hey, hey, welcome to the Marathon Training Academy podcast, where we empower and inspire you to run a marathon and change your life.

I'm Trevor.

And I'm Angie.

In this episode, we interviewed Dakota Popain, who finished as the first American woman at the

Olympic marathon in Paris.

There was a time when she couldn't fathom running a full marathon and actually DNFed at her

debut race, but she didn't give up.

Listen as Dakota shares lessons that she's learned along the way, her tips on building

mental strength, and the importance of getting good sleep

during your marathon training. And hey, just a reminder, you guys know what I'm about to say.

You can get all of our back podcast episodes, interviews, and more. As an Academy member, we'd love to

help you train for whatever challenge you have on your calendar this year. Jump on in. You can

find out how to join when you visit Marathon Trainingacademy.com.

So Angie, how was your workout today?
